Sweetloss Costus Tea

Our Sweetloss™ tea is made from the Costus Igneus plant, a naturally insulin-producing plant found in the Western Ghats of South India.  It is traditionally known for its use in controlling blood sugar levels and has come to be known as the “Insulin Plant”.  In Southern India and other parts around the world, people with diabetes use the leaves as a dietary supplement. Additionally, Costus Igneus is a diuretic and an antioxidant that can be used to help the immune system defend against bacterial infections.

For optimal results, brew your tea with a tablespoon of leaves and the leaves can be consumed after drinking the brewed tea.  Although it is considered a safe supplement, limit your consumption of this tea to once a day.  It generally takes a few weeks for a measurable reduction in insulin levels.

NOTE: While Costus Igneus may help as a supplement for pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, it is not a replacement for insulin or other diabetes medications.  These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.  Please consult your doctor or healthcare team before making any decisions on using the insulin plant or making any changes to your current diabetes care plan.
